Alternative Propulsion System Research
Donation protected
Eagle Scientific Research and Applications was founded to research and develop an alternative spacecraft propulsion system. This propulsion system will be an alternative to the current rocket based systems. This research and development is based on sound science and physics and is based on years of study and research previously conducted by one of the founders. The goal is to use this model to build a working spacecraft that can safely carry people into space and safely return them to earth. If we do not try we will never succeed. But to try requires funding.
The Problems with Rockets:
They require large volumes of explosive fuel just to get into low Earth orbit. A system malfunction can cause an explosion that can be fatal to the passengers and crew.
They are very expensive to operate. The cost to get cargo into orbit is US $10,000 per pound. Currently the cost to send a person into space is US $58 million at the lower end. For a family of 4 this cost can exceed US $232 million.
They are relatively slow for the vast distances that need to be traveled in space. To just get to Mars can take several months.
Some rockets are not reusable. This requires new rockets and systems to be built for each launch. Compared to other transportation systems, reusable rockets have a long turn around time in order to be used again.
There has to be a better way to do this!
The ideal propulsion system for a spacecraft should be very fast and very reliable. The vehicles should be able to traverse the vast distances of space in a fraction of the time that it takes rockets or ion engine based propulsion systems to complete.
The propulsion system should be safe to operate. The propulsion system should not require large volumes of expensive and explosive fuel.
These vehicles should be cost effective. The cost to manufacture, power, and operate should be low enough that the average person or family does not have to spend millions to just get into orbit. A trip into space should not cost much more than a cruise or an international jet flight. As the cost gets lower more people will be able to afford the opportunity to travel into space.
Once enough funding is secured Eagle Scientific Research and Applications will put together a research team that will include engineers and physicists to take this vision from concept to reality. Your support can help make this happen.
Research and Funding
The research and development of the spacecraft will be conducted in four phases. By breaking up the research into four phases we do not need to wait to be fully funded to start the project.
Phase 1
Acquire a facility from which to conduct the research.
Hire a physicist and at least two engineers. There will be at least one electrical engineer and either an aerospace engineer or a mechanical engineer.
Purchase the initial equipment and materials to begin designing the prototypes.
Phase 2
Purchase additional equipment and materials to complete the prototypes.
Add at least two additional engineers as needed.
Begin to add additional employees as needed.
Build and test prototypes.
Phase 3
Design a manned spacecraft.
Phase 4
Build and test a prototype manned spacecraft.
Refine this vehicle design as needed.
About Eagle Scientific Research and Applications
Eagle Scientific Research and Applications was founded by Vincent Pace, Keith Mbelu and Ron Adamus to research and develop a non-rocket spacecraft propulsion system.
Vincent Pace is the project leader. He has a two year certificate in electronics, has studied three years of physics at a university and has a degree in business management. Vincent originally conceived the idea for an electric spacecraft propulsion system when he was twelve. He has since spent several years researching his ideas and concepts for electric and plasma based spacecraft propulsion.
Keith Mbelu is a graduate from Lansing Community College. Keith is a technology enthusiast and has experience in computer programming and applications. He also has experience as a manager of facility staffing and equipment maintenance.
Ron Adamus has thirty years of business administration experience. He has been a business owner and also has extensive team leadership experience.
The aim of Eagle Scientific Research and Applications is to put together a world class research team of scientists and engineers to develop an alternative spacecraft for human space transportation.
